Without internet you can use some phisical credit cards loaded with bitcoins, in the future I think that they will be really popular.

If the internet goes down so does bitcoin though, am I right?
That is a huge if you got there, but yes, Bitcoin would go down as well. However, I am currently following a team that is trying to send Bitcoin data using DVB-T (Radio Waves). Something like that might be able to prevent Bitcoin from going down.

That's awesome! Another point I'd like to make, government can regulate the internet through ISP's therefore can they not regulate bitcoin? As in if anyone is caught doing bitcoin transactions there ISP contract gets revoked? and can't they see this kind of activity on your internet connection?
They can really not regulate the internet to this degree. This would likely be considered to be a violation of free speech rights and would be ruled unconstitutional. I really cannot see a world when the internet would ever have the possibility of "going away"

Why don't we all invest in gold though? it's not as volatile and is always rising, always holds its value, has been around for thousands of years, has real value, can be used regardless of the internet/electricity situation and in crisis skyrockets in value. It is probably more rare than bitcoin, has been used as currency for millenia, no one can take your gold if you have a good safe, gold is tax free, I could go on for hours here!

no brainer?

fuck gold.  too hard to take delivery of and store securely, and too hard to pay for stuff, even locally, cause its not easily divisible,
and certainly can't transact globally. 

you can keep it.

If you are worried about an end to the Internet, pledge some bitcoins to the Bitcoin solar mesh network (YOUR PLEDGE AMOUNT STAYS IN YOUR WALLET).
